IT'S SNOW TIME

This is the "snow meter". If you will notice I am standing next to it (inside the box labeled Me). In 1978 the UP had its highest snowfall record...32.2 ft which is about 384 inches of snow. I figured it would be appropriate to post this now because we have jsut started to get snow this past week. It is currently snowing right now...even though nothing is sticking yet. I was getting worried seeing as how its been warm and the snow usually comes by the end of October. It almost had me convinced that i brought some snowless curse to the land of the UP. I can't wait to go SKI!!!

Fall in Copper Country

This is a picture of the Portage Canal and the town of Houghton. Its a nice view from across the Portage. You can see campus and most of town from this lookout spot.

I went "Copper Country Crusiing" as they call it up here. Some friends and I drove up to Copper Harbor, which is at the tip of the Keeweenaw Peninusla. We hiked around up there and I managed to snap a few pictures. It was a beautiful drive just in time for peak colors. The pictures hardly do it justice.
